AI is just a tool.
It still needs to be directed by people. Even in the future, in scifi like Star Trek, people have to direct the holodeck. The holodeck programs are seen to be modified by people all the time, like we modify ChatGPT prompts. Everyone forgets that AI doesn't just "make stuff" - it always needs prompting and directing by a person.
So, let's take a hypothetical future version of AI that COULD make a full game, by itself, based off of prompting. You'd still need to direct it:
"Make me an erotic game, with these tags, and this art style, with this many dateable characters, and avoid these tags, and make it this setting, and make the dateable characters like this, etc."
And then you'd still want to go back in and modify it - "Make this girl curvier, like 'this much', and make that character less bitchy, and modify the storyline in this way, etc."
At the end of the day, if you released something GOOD to a wider audience, it would still be massively directed by a person, with a vision, who would have at least as much influence as a co-author or co-creator in the work.
What I see as a far future possibility (next 20-30, maybe 50 years), is generative media being a thing were any person can get a highly personalized piece of media generated for them on the fly by an AI. So shallow experiences, the type we'd define currently as "popcorn flicks" or "boredom busters", would pretty much go away, replaced by these generative pieces of media to satisfy quick urges for dopamine release.
But we'll still have handcrafted media (obviously with AI used as a tool) that is good or great, and that makes us want to share or recommend it to other people.
Something that struck me that I saw in a discussion of AI is this:
Landscape painters and portrait painters were devastated and upset by the invention of the camera. To them, it was the death of "art". You can read contemporary letters on the subject - they eerily echo the same discussions digital artists are having about AI image generation.
And here's the thing, it WAS the death of their art. Not totally, people still paint landscapes and portraits, but it devastated a whole industry and made it very difficult to make a living doing those things anymore.
BUT - big BUT - the invention of the camera led to OTHER forms of art. New forms of art. Films and video games EXIST because of the invention of the camera.
I think AI will lead to new forms of art we haven't even thought of or envisioned, once a generation of new creatives grows up in a world where they have known nothing but AI.
Is AI a wildfire burning down the art forest? Yes. But it's going to make the soil richer, and new flowers are going to bloom in the aftermath.
